EDMOND F. SEVY, OF ST. JOHNS, MICHIGAN.

IMPROVEMENT IN MlLK-SAFES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 120,111, dated October 17, 1871.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that EDMOND F. SEvY, of St. J ohns, in the county of Clinton and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Milk-Safes; and I do declare that the following is a true and accurate description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon, and being a part of this specification, in which-- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved safe with two racks. Fig. 2is an enlarged crosssection of one of the rack-shafts.

Like letters indicate like parts in each figure.

The object of this invention is so to construct the racks of a milk-safe that a greater number of milk-pans can be stored thereon than by other arrangements; and it consists in the peculiar construction of the rotating rack-shafts, as more fully hereinafter set forth.

In the drawing, A represents an ordinary rectangular milk-safe, having the panels of its doors and sides of Wire-cloth, for the ventilation of its interior, and about the construction of which there is'nothing new. B B are two Wooden shafts,

journaled in the top and bottom of the safe, the peculiarity of which shafts is that they are tri- .ngular in cross-section. On each face of the shafts a series of rack-arms, O, are mortised therein, being arranged in pairs, and slightly diverging from each other, each pair supporting a milk-pan, as shown in dotted outline in Fig. 2.

In order to illustrate the economy of space afforded by this construction and arrangement of parts, the shaft of a full-sized safe having a height of four feet and four inches, and provided with three series of rack-bars separated vertically by space of five inches, is capable of sustaining sixty pans of milk, for each of which abundant space is afforded.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In combination with a milk-safe, A, one or more vertical pivoted triangular standards, B, provided with radial rack-arms e, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

EDMOND F. SEVY.
